Who can attend baccalaureate? We invite all Romeo High School graduating seniors, plus their families and guests, to attend baccalaureate. And if you're a RCS staff member and want to support the students, you're welcome as well!
Do we have to be Christians or belong to a church to attend? No. All graduating senior and their families and guests are welcome, regardless of your religious affiliation. Or even if you have no religious affiliation at all.
Do I have to wear a mask? At this time, the Covid-19 MDHHS Epidemic order effective March 22 through April 19 requires that every visitor must wear a mask at all times while attending a function at an outdoor venue. If that changes, we'll let you know!
What do graduates wear? Well, besides a mask, graduating seniors should wear their caps, gowns, and honor cords/stoles.
How does seating work? Graduates, their families and guests will sit together and leave six feet of space between themselves and the next group. Seating will also be every other row, so no one will sit directly in front or in back of your family group.
Are graduates sitting together or with their families? In previous years, graduates at baccalaureate sat together as a group. This year, if we seated the graduates together, they'd have to space six feet apart and sit every other row--which means the grads are sitting pretty much by themselves. Therefore, graduates will sit with their families so they can have their loved ones surrounding them!
Will you have a dessert reception after the service as you have in previous years?
Unfortunately, no. While we'd love to bring in our usual mounds of cookies and desserts, we've decided to play it safe and won't have the dessert reception this year.
So does no reception mean no gifts for the grads? While we won't have our usual raffle of gift cards, no way are we letting our grads leave baccalaureate empty-handed! Each grad will definitely receive a gift from us before leaving.
What if it's raining on June 7th? If we're dealing with inclement weather on June 7th, we'll send you an update at the email you provided during sign up and let you know we're postponing baccalaureate until the evening of June 8th.
Who sponsors baccalaureate? Because public schools can no longer sponsor any type of religious service, it's up to private groups like the Romeo Baccalaurate Committee to
take charge of organizing baccalaurate services. The baccalaurate committee is made up of RHS parents as well as local pastors, youth leaders, and church members. In conjuction with the RHS Christian club Youth for Christ/STATIC, we work hard to make baccalaureate a service that will bless our graduating seniors.
I have some other questions. How can I contact you? Just click on our Contact Us page and submit your question. Or if you'd like to speak with someone in person, please leave your name and number on our Contact Us page, and a member of the baccalaureate committee will get back to you.
